The official EuroPride anthem released

“No human
being should be able to prohibit others' love”, says Hector Lopez, who sings
the official EuroPride 2014 anthem called ´Love´.

EuroPride
is Europe´s biggest Gay Pride Festival. This year it’s hosted by Oslo, Norway
June 20th-29th. Stars such as Lady Gaga has performed at EuroPride and this
year debut artist Hector Lopez enters the EuroPride stage with his dancers, and
is more than likely to get his big breakthrough.

The anthem is out for sale at iTunes today. Later today the the music video will also be released.

Charismatic
Hector has been a professional dancer and choreographer in Los Angeles,
Stockholm and Gothenburg. In the music vid Hector really shows off his fab dance skills.

#Lovemoves“The EuroPride song is titled ´Love´ and is about how it feels to love someone.
I want to show that people's feelings are the true and equal, regardless what
sexual orientation they have”, says Lopez.

Linda
Sonnvik and Chris Oscarsson wrote “Love”, a song surprisingly well fit for the
occasion, since the slogan for EuroPride 2014 came to be #LoveMoves. Lopez
hooked up with the writers aiming at a summer single - landing the EuroPride
anthem!

Hector believes many will dance to the banger and sing a long to the catchy “All I Want Is Lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ove!”

The EuroPride
artist Lopez also believes we constantly need to be reminded that human rights
should not be taken for granted.

“It's not
just in Russia there is a homophobic backlash. At home, in Sweden, the
far-right wing Populist Party, Swedish Democrats, has been elected to the Swedish
Parliament, and there still are people who think I should not be able to start
a family because I'm gay. Does it end there or will it get worse,” asks Lopez.

Free show in Pride ParkDuring the ten-day
long festival EuroPride, the organizer Oslo Pride shall through art, culture,
politics and party, set human rights and lhbtiq issues on the agenda.

On
Wednesday 25th of June 2014 Oslo Pride opens Pride Park, situated at The City
Hall Square, in the center of Oslo. With the help of hundreds of volunteers,
the The City Hall Square will be transformed into a great lhbtiq village, with
a lively atmosphere.

“It is
important for me to contribute, because EuroPride in Oslo is all about the
struggle for our common human rights. No one should be able to prohibit others'
love,” says Lopez, who will perform on several occasions in Pride Park.
